KISWAHILI: MIMI NIMELALA.

Alikuwepo mtu aliyeishi kwenye kijiji fulani. Mtu huyo, aliingia kulala chumbani mwake, kwa lengo la kupumzika. Lakini watu waliokuwa na shida walimwendea na kumwamusha ili awasaidie katika shida yao. Yeye alikataa kuuacha usingizi wake, akisema kuwa, amelala. Ndiyo maana alisema kwamba, “mimi nimelala.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huwa hasaidii vizuri wenzake walioko kwenye matatizo, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huwa hawajali wenzake waomwendea wakiomba msaada wa kusaidiwa kutatua matatizo yao, kwa sababu ya majivuno yake ya kujijali yeye wenyewe tu, maishani mwake. Yeye hukosa watu wa kuishi naye kwenye familia yake hiyo kwa sababu ya kujijali mwenyewe bila kuwasaidia wenzake walio na matatizo, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyejali usingizi wake kwa kukataa kuwasaidia wale waliokuwa na matatizo, kwa sababu naye huwa hawasaidii watu walioko kwenye matatizo, maishani mwake. Ndiyo  maana husema kwamba, “mimi nimelala.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwasaidia wenzao walioko kwenye matatizo, kwa kuwajali vizuri, ili waweze kuishi kwa furaha katika familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: I HAVE SLEPT.

There was a man who lived in a certain village. He went to sleep in his room, with an aim of resting. But people who were in problems came to him and asked him to help them in their anxiety. He refused to give up his sleep, saying that he was asleep. That is why he said, “I have slept.”

This saying is compared to a person who does not help well his colleagues who are in tribulations in his life. Such person does not care about his colleagues who come to him asking for help in solving their problems, because of his pride in only caring about himself, in his life. He misses people who can live with in his family because of taking care of himself without helping his colleagues who have problems in their lives.

This person resembles the one who cared about his sleep by refusing to help those who had problems, because he also does not help people who are in problems in his life. That is why he says, “I have slept.”

This saying teaches people about helping their fellows who are in problems, by taking good care of them, so that they can live happily in their families, in their lives.
